Imagine a spring, one end held in a fixed position, being rotated in a horizontal circle. For this problem, we will ignore any effects due to gravity, air resistance, and friction.
As the spring's rotational speed increases, it will get longer. Derive an expression for the length of the spring as a function of its angular velocity, mass, spring constant, and equilibrium length.
***Also, please note that this problem is incredibly difficult. Show your work.***
